Teaching Approach

-adaptation to the specific need of my students: help on some particular question, conversation, program to improve your French, whatever your age is.

-clear and simple explanations, through many examples.

-very good at helping you grasp grammar and develop your vocabulary.

-I can prepare you to take the DELF/DALF, SAT or GCSE in French

-I have also successfully prepared students to take 'Reading French' exams (at all levels, including Ph.D.)

Emma's lesson was not only useful but extremely enjoyable. She caters to your needs, checks on them as you go along and corrects your mistakes in a constructive way. I will certainly continue with this tutor.
